The classic real-time stealth tactics series Commandos is back with Commandos: Origins! The game launched today and a launch trailer was aired for the occasion:

​

Commandos: Origins continues the legacy of the legendary real-time stealth tactics series. Step into the boots of the original Commandos squad, a group of highly skilled soldiers forged in the heat of battle during World War II. Thomas "the Sapper" Hancock is entrusted by the top military brass to assemble a team of fearless soldiers, the Commandos.

In 14 missions, the game delves into their early engagements, highlighting the challenges they faced and the bond they formed as an elite fighting force. With tactical gameplay and strategic decisions, players guide the Commandos through perilous operations, each one shaping the foundation of what would become one of the most iconic military units in history. Prepare for a deep dive into the origins of a legendary squad.

Features of Commandos: Origins include:

• Challenging Real Time Tactical Stealth Gameplay: Make the best use of your Commandos’ unique abilities, infiltrate enemy facilities, and hit them where it hurts most before disappearing into the shadows.
• An extraordinary team: Featuring 6 infamous characters, each with their own storied history, banding together to form an extraordinary fighting force – the Commandos: Take control over Jack O’Hara “the Green Beret”, Thomas “the Sapper” Hancock, Francis T. “the Sniper” Woolridge, Samuel “the Driver” Brooklyn, James “the Marine” Blackwood, and Rene “the Spy” Duchamp and lead them to success.
• Many paths to victory: The detailed, varied, and interactive environments offer multiple approaches to reach your goal. Sneak, climb, drive in various vehicles, or hide and creep your way to mission success!
• On your mark: A modern user experience with precise and intuitive controls enables you to control the commandos with expert precision. Coordinate complex actions simultaneously to overcome heavily fortified targets.
• Fight on all fronts: Play through more than 10 missions in historically authentic WWII environments, spanning from the barren Arctic to the African desert, with a range of core and voluntary objectives that will require your full tactical expertise.
• There is no I in team: Take on missions with a friend in the 2-player cooperative multiplayer mode, either online or via local split-screen.

Commandos: Origins is available now on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It is also accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Retail editions for Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 will be available in selected regions on May 22.

Good news everyone !
You're all going to die.

It is currently being bombed on steam, an optimization hell.
War never changes.

I also looked forward to it, but if you got used to the standards of the Mimimi stealth strategy titles and even the spiritual successor by Devolver (Sumerian Six), Commandos Origins just feels like a step backwards. UI is clunky, movement feels awkward. You're better off just playing Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, Shadow Gambit and Sumerian Six.
